Hi. I have a few suggestions for you regarding the usage of computers, mobile phones and books. Follow the rule of" 20" this means that every 20 minutes, take a gap of 20 seconds, blink your eyes actively 20 times and focus at an object which is minimum 20 feet away. This will help in relieving your eyes from the continuous strain that is caused due to staring. Staring at the computer continuously causes us to subconsciously blink less than normal. This causes the tear film on the surface of the eye to dry up. The result of this is pain, discomfort, etc.
Another suggestions regarding the usage of computers is to maintain a proper posture. The computer must be positioned at the same height as your eye level. The neck should not be inadvertently flexed or extended. Roughly, an angle of 90 degrees should be maintained between your upper body and thighs. Likewise, a similar angle (90 degrees) should be maintained between your lower legs and thighs. Also the angle between your hands and arms should be roughly 90 degrees. This is the healthy ergonomic way of sitting while using a computer. Maintenance of proper posture would help in further relieving the symptoms of eye discomfort and pain.
All these suggestions may take a while to sink in and imbibe in your routine. Once followed, they are sure to work wonders for you.
Hope my suggestions help you. Take care. Cheers.

Hello, Redness of the eyes has multiple causes associated with it. To enumerate a few common causes:
(1) Allergy of the eye. It is usually caused by improper eye hygiene. There is a tendency to rub the eyes with fingers, handkerchief, cloth, etc. This is not a good habit because it tends to transmit lots of virus, bacteria and dust into the eye. Allergy usually presents with symptoms of watering (clear water), redness and itching of the eye.
(2) Infectious conjunctivitis: this is usually associated with white-yellowish discharge. If so, it would be a good idea to go and show to an eye specialist in person.
(3) Foreign body lodged in the eye. This is more commonly associated with people who drive 2 wheeler vehicles without protection. It occurs more commonly in one eye. Foreign bodies that commonly get lodged are eyelashes, insect wings, small insects, dust particles, iron particles (more common with people working in the iron industry) The solution for a foreign body lodged in the eye would be better provided by an eye specialist AT THE CLINIC.
(4) Raised intraocular pressure: This is a condition known as glaucoma. It is not so common as the previous mentioned conditions. There is usually associated pain in the eyes. It is commonly bilateral (occurs in both eyes). There is usually a positive family history of glaucoma associated in a majority of the cases.
(5) Inflammation of the coats of the eyeball. This is known as" uveitis" It is also a relatively less common condition. There is associated pain. It would require a thorough eye checkup including the retina-thus a good idea would be to visit the eye specialist in person.
FROM THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED BY YOU, it seems more likely to be a case of allergy. Maintaining the precautions and hygiene that I mentioned should probably work well for you.
EYE ALLERGIES TRIGGERS: You can be allergic to:
•Pollen from grasses, weeds, and trees. These are the most common kinds of eye allergies and are called SEASONAL ALLERGIC CONJUNCTIVITIS.
•Dust, pet dander, and other indoor allergens. These eye allergies last year-round and are called CHRONIC (PERENNIAL) CONJUNCTIVITIS.
•Makeup, perfume, or other chemicals can trigger eye allergies called CONTACT CONJUNCTIVITIS.
•An allergy to contact lenses, called GIANT PAPILLARY CONJUNCTIVITIS, makes eyes sensitive and red.
Just like any other allergic reaction, they are caused by a MISFIRING OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, the body's natural defense mechanism. It releases HISTAMINE, a chemical that causes swelling and inflammation. Symptoms to Watch For
•Red, irritated eyes
•Itchiness
•Tearing or runny eyes
•Swollen eyelids
•Soreness, burning, or pain
•Sensitivity to light
Usually you’ll also have other allergy symptoms, such as a stuffy, runny nose and sneezing.
DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES FOR GRANTED! Protect your sight with these six tips:
1. Eat for Good Vision
2. Quit Smoking
3. Wear Sunglasses
4. Wash your eyes 3-4 times a day
5. Look Away From the Computer Screen
6. Avoid rubbing your eyes with fingers/ cloth/ shirt/ dupatta, etc.
Hope my suggestions helped you. Take care,

Hello,
Bloodshot eyes appear red because the vessels at the surface of the white portion of the eye become swollen. Vessels may swell due to:
Eye dryness
Too much sun exposure
Dust or other particles in the eye
Allergies
Infection
Injury
Eye infections or inflammation can cause redness as well as possible itching, discharge, pain, or vision problems. Other causes of eye redness include Colds or allergies, Acute glaucoma, Corneal scratches: Injuries caused by sand, dust, or overuse of contact lenses.
Sometimes, a bright red spot, called a subconjunctival hemorrhage, will appear on the white of the eye. This often happens after straining or coughing, which causes a broken blood vessel on the surface of the eye. Most often, there is no pain and your vision is normal. It is almost never a serious problem. Because the blood leaks into the conjunctiva, which is clear, you cannot wipe or rinse the blood away. Like a bruise, the red spot will go away within a week or two.
Management:
- Try to rest your eyes if redness is due to fatigue or eye strain. No other treatment is needed.
- Wash your hands, hold clean water in your hand, keep your eyes closer to the water and dip the eyes by blinking the eyelids frequently in the held water in hand. Repeat it for 3-4 times again.
- Avoid watching T.V., working on computer or mobile, reading.
- In case there is itching, use a clean napkin or a tissue to wipe the tears and cleaning the eyelids gently.
-Wear an UV-rays protected sunglasses while you are out in sun.
Medication:
Take homoeopathic medicines - Schwabe’s Belladonna 30 and Euphrasia 30 - both thrice daily for 4 days. Use Euphrasia Eye drops twice daily. Revert back thereafter.

Medicines do provide relief but whats more important is lifestyle modification for long term relief. No permanent cure but permanant life style changes will help,
follow these instructions:
take frequent breaks while you are working
every 20-25 mins take break to look away from screen
blink more frequently'
level of screen should be below the level of eyes
ac should not blow directly on your face.

watering of eyes can be due to many reasons and the main reasons are
1.Eye Allergy due to dust,Pollution,infection
2.Weak Eyesight
3.Continuous watching TV,Mobile,computor in dim light
4.Any eye injury
5.Lack of sleep
6.Continuous headache
7.Hypertension.
So,my suggestion for you is either you give details of your eye watering reasons or visit a local doctor for an eye check up as a final examination can only be made after physical examination.
